mmmmmm, might have to give it a miss in case I get my van stuck, have to work Monday morning , enjoy.

Nah, you'll be fine - it hasn't really rained for a good couple of weeks in Northants... Unlikely to get a van stuck with one day's rain!

Well, if you take a train to Banbury (in Oxfordshire) - via Paddington/Reading!, then there'll be a coach to pick you up...

If you're doing what myself and Pete are doing (Euston to Northampton via bus replacement services, then taxis to hotel in Towcester, then taxis to festival), then it'll take you most of the day to get there!

See you there!

I haven't heard back whether the 808 set will will be broadcasted and have not been able to listen to the Gatecrasher stream at all as they only allow access from UK listeners... so if anyone in the UK could listen in and if 808 are on, RECORD, please!
And if anyone knows a workaround on how to listen outside the UK... Dee?

No it was nt recorded ,it was bit of a ghost festival there did nt seem to be
any one there from Kiss, We did a short MTV interview (5 mins whwn they seemed to indicate it might be 30 mins) ,The catering seemed to be not working, we did nt have a dressing room (but the chem bros shared they res and saved us from the rain) No bands played on the main stage due to weather.. and it seemed a lot of people gave up and went home.
We played the same set as Warehouse project.

Not you as well !,In yer face seems slower but has nt changed tempo for years,the worlds got faster around it , Pat and Paddy had me convinced
my computer had slowed it down,but may be Ill speed it up.

Did any one manage to record the gig? It would be great to have at least one of this years shows available for download.

All though as fans we are being a bit spoiled for choice for 808 material!

What a week, missed the gig and got stuck in the floods in Somerset. I don't wanna talk about it.

At least there are clips of the gig to enjoy on Youtube.
